Datang Live Room

The blackboard on that side still has the same calculations.

Yes, it is exactly the same as the calculation above at the beginning, there is no difference at all.

The difference is that on this blackboard, each number has its meaning marked on it.

You must know that the original questions are just groups of calculations. As long as you calculate them correctly, you have passed the preliminary test.

Many people in Chang'an have figured it out.

It’s just that everyone doesn’t know the meaning behind such a question.

Now the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty discovered that those numbers were not random numbers. Each number represented a piece of data.

"This is...this is the number of soldiers killed in the record since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!"

"The latter one is the amount of pensions issued by the government, and the other calculation is the annual income and expenditure of a family without a strong labor force."

"What? If our pension is given to the orphans and widows left behind, they will not even be able to make ends meet and can only last for ten years?"

"Yan Kai, what do you mean?" The young censor asked: "This pension standard was set by the Supreme Emperor when he raised his army. How dare you..."

"What dare you?" Yan Kai rolled his eyes at him: "I'm telling you that you feel sad that the land that the soldiers won with their blood and sweat has been sold by me."

"But I have no heartache at all for those soldiers bleeding and crying!"

"I am telling you that you are not as rich as you think. This is still a case of full payment of pensions. In fact, many pensions have not been paid in full! Because you don't have that much money!"

"I can also tell you that His Majesty shows compassion for the soldiers and will increase the pensions of all soldiers who died in the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. This money is the money I brought back to sell the land this time."

Then he pointed at the calculation at the back with his teaching stick: "Look at this, this is our income and investment from occupying the Koryo area for one year!"

"This is the income and investment from our temporary sale of Goryeo to the Three Kingdoms of Silla!"

"This set of calculations shows how much wasteland we currently have in the Tang Dynasty, and how many people will be needed to open up these wastelands!"

"This set of calculations shows how much money we spent in Kuoding County before and after attacking Goryeo!"

"This set of calculation formulas..."

Groups of calculations were pointed out by Yan Kai.

"You know about the ancestral system and Tang laws in one day, but you don't see any of these?"

Yan Kai stood alone in front of the blackboard and asked the officials of the Tang Dynasty.

Many people here have really never settled the accounts at all, or they don't understand or don't care at all.

In Yan Kai's view, many officials in the court are no different from the experts of later generations.

They will only take it for granted and express their opinions: Why not eat minced meat?

But they don't even consider whether the people have the same time, energy and financial resources to deal with the same problem as they do!

"On behalf of my officers and men, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your compassion. I am also willing to donate a hundred dollars for Your Majesty's pension plan!"

As a die-hard supporter of Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie was the first to jump out.

The others cursed secretly, what can they do if they don't keep up at this time?

So originally it was the Yushitai who was impeaching Yan Kai, but as a result, the situation changed and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty began to donate money.

At this time, even Yushitai could only hold it in for now.

Well, they can't hold it back completely, they have to donate money, otherwise they can guarantee that they will be stabbed in the back by the people of Chang'an when they leave the palace.

At this time, Yin Hongzhi was also in trouble. Yan Kai's actions were no longer about whether he had any merit.

Instead, he determined how much the Tang Dynasty would invest in attacking Goryeo.

After occupying those lands, the public opinion of the people who are willing to leave their homes to open up wasteland, as well as the income investment, etc. are all spread out in front of you.

If you still want to continue to occupy those lands at this time, what is the reason?

It can’t be said that Datang just liked to lose money and then force people who were unwilling to leave their homes to open up wasteland, right?

If we still use the reasons from the past, it doesn't make sense that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were bleeding and occupying them.

Because the military is now completely on Yan Kai's side.

The military does not recognize this reason now!

It is impossible for these generals to oppose Yan Kai at this time. To oppose Yan Kai is to oppose the welfare of their subordinates.

Think about it, if your boss told the head office not to raise wages or give year-end bonuses to our department, would the people below still follow him wholeheartedly?

At this time, Yan Kai raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, and the tears flowed down like tears bursting from a dam.

Damn it, how much mustard Chun Yuzhen put on his sleeves!

Yan Kai cried and said: "We... are just a small county. Because Goryeo repeatedly attacked the merchant ships of the people in my county, we had no choice but to launch a counterattack."

"All the money in Kuoding County has been invested. The people in the county eat chaffy vegetables and eat hungry meals just to attack Goryeo and to tell them that those who offend us in the Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

"We, the Tang Dynasty soldiers, also suffered a lot of casualties after the defeat of Goryeo. We took our brothers out to fight. It's inappropriate to not be able to take them back alive. How can we make them bleed and shed tears?"

"Yes, I know I handled this matter improperly, but what can I do? I am just a child!"

Yan Kai almost couldn't continue his acting when he said this. He paused and then continued: "I, a kid, only know what is best for the Tang Dynasty now! Those lands are just there, so wasteful and rotten, Why not exchange it for cash so that the descendants of our fallen heroes can live a better life?”

"I...I just ask your Majesty not to forget the merits of our Kuoding County soldiers. As for myself, I am willing to give up all my merits to make up for my mistake this time!"

In this era of limited information, many people have never been to Kuoding County and only know that it was a sleepy place two years ago.

I heard there has been some improvement in the past two years.

But I didn't expect that they would be bullied like this by the Koreans as soon as they started to improve. Tang Dynasty did not vent their anger on them. They sold the iron on their own and beat them bloody.

Such a young county magistrate has made impressive achievements, but now he is crying in the court, shouting that he is willing to give up all his achievements.

Changsun Wuji must be very cheerful at this time, and of course the most important thing is to attack Yin Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty, I think Yanzhi County has merits and no faults. This is the most suitable approach for the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, the Yushitai wants to accuse Yanzhixian with just a few words. I suggest that the Yushitai be investigated strictly. Shitai!”

"It is the duty of all officials to supervise the situation. How can we make such hasty conclusions?"

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, many civil and military officials stood up and said, "I second the proposal!"
